As part of their new store program, Topps Tiles required a floor suitable for their heavy foot fall and pallet truck movements in store.
Ecoflor removed all previous adhesives and coatings and ground and polished the exposed concrete slab to a retail finish.
All of Ecoflor’s installation was carried out before second fix fit out to ensure speedy project completion.
About Seven Sisters
Seven Sisters is on the route of Ermine Street, the Roman road connecting London to York. At the time of Domesday, the area was within the Manor of Tottenham held by Waltheof II, Earl of Northumbria, the last of the great Anglo-Saxon Earls.[11]
In the medieval period a settlement grew up at Page Green and the woodland was increasingly cleared for agriculture. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, the Seven Sisters Road was constructed and the area saw the construction of a number of large houses, including Suffield Lodge, Seven Sisters House and Grove Place.[12] These fine buildings soon fell victim to the spread of Victorian London and by the third quarter of the century the area had been almost completely built over.[5]
Seven Sisters today
Today Seven Sisters is a multi-cultural area strongly influenced by its location on key road and underground rail routes. Immediately above the tube station is an early-Edwardian department store building, formerly occupied by Wards Furnishing Stores, which traded until 1972. Part of the building, known locally as Wards Corner became an indoor market with a strong Latin American flavour, known as “Latin Village” or “Pueblito Paisa”.[13][14] The site had been under threat of demolition since 2004 (see section Plans for development below); there were plans to redevelop it in 2018,[15] but this action was resisted, and cancelled in August 2021.[16]
The Clyde Circus Conservation Area stretches between the busy local shops of West Green Road and Philip Lane. Most of the residential streets between are in the Conservation Area, but not the more modern Lawrence Road and Elizabeth Place.[17]
Residents of the Clyde Circus Conservation Area are brought together by the Clyde Area Residents Association (CARA), which holds an annual street party. Its sister group, the Fountain Area Residents Association (FARA), covers residents to the south of West Green Road, namely those in Kirkton Road, Roslyn Road, Seaford Road, Elmar Road, Turner Avenue, Brunel Walk, Avenue Road and Braemar Road.[18] Recent successful projects organised by FARA members include the creation of a community garden at the site of a dated pedestrian ramp.[19]
Another community project is the Avenue Orchard.[20] The local community utilised wasteland behind a concrete wall on Avenue Road for planting apple trees, and held a workshop with local artists to source ideas for how to improve the look and feel of the wall and area around the Avenue Orchard.[21]
